I like looking back on the shows I go to, and normally I can find at least a few full song recordings of the SF shows on youtube after the fact. But it's been a month and I still haven't found any. If you have footage, or you know where to find it, please let me know!
I'm not sure if anyone saw this, but Scott Klopfenstein is back with Reel Big Fish after nearly 15 years of retirement. For my money, he was always the second most iconic member of the band behind Aaron Barrett, and without him it felt like a big part of the "special sauce" was missing.
The whole band was back together at Warped Tour 2026 and they sounded great. I figured a decent chunk of y'all would get a kick out of hearing this. Streetlight is my favorite band, but RBF was my first ska love when I was younger, so this made me happy to see.
The SF show was absolutely unbelievable as always, but somebody left their two service dogs unattended in the mosh pit and that's fucking nuts. They could have gotten hurt. Who does that?
Amazing show, though.
We haven't had issues with t-shirt spam in a while, but they're popping up again, so I figured I'd make a quick post detailing what these posts are and how you can spot them.
Basically, people set up bots to steal designs and pump out low quality t-shirts, which they then promote on Reddit. Here is an example from today of what these posts tend to look like. The top comments (manipulated using upvote bots) will ask where they can buy the design as a shirt, and then the OP will respond with some extremely sus "You can get one here..." comment linking you to a shop. They'll also post the link in response to people who didn't even ask, as you can see in this screenshot.
These posts are scams, and if you buy a shirt, it will be a terrible and very low quality piece of merchandise. Other times, they will just straight up take your money without sending anything in return. The designs are stolen, in many cases from actual community members, and even the websites themselves are security risks.
Once you know what to look for, these posts stick out like sore thumbs. If you see them, report them.
I probably should have done a little more research when I signed up for the class in the first place, because there's a thread on here from 6 years ago talking about how this guy sucks. I can confirm that he hasn't gotten any more agreeable. He seems to take pride in sinking everyone's grades at the last possible moment. He graded our final essay way harder than he graded the first two and everybody I spoke to saw their letter grade drop from an A to a C, or a B to a D. His essay format is also insanely restrictive, and even as a freak who genuinely enjoys academic essay writing, I came to really dread the essays for this class.
Your entire grade for this class is essentially comprised of 3 essays. In terms of collective workload that might sound good, but what it means in practice is that Prof. Lee can wreck your grade at the last minute if he decides to grade like a hardass. And for every classmate I spoke to, he did exactly that. I have taken a lot of different college courses with a lot of different professors and I have never been compelled to post something like this publicly until now. Take heed, people.
